macbook trackpad change

My trackpad on the MacBook Pro 13 2019 is broken. I found another MacBook Air 13 2018 and want to take its trackpad and put it on my model. My question is, will it work or will I encounter surprises?

Why is my Trackpad not working after migrating to new Mac? I recently inherited a second hand macbook pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) and after using migration assistant to transfer my data from my old laptop (Retina, Mid 2012) I found that the trackpad is completely non-functional. It worked fine during the install process, and started working again after I retried the process with a clean install, but every time I migrate my data across it stops working; so I'm 90% sure its a software issue instead of a hardware one.

iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014 will a Magic Trackpad 3 work with it? I haven't used this machine since around 2017, according to AI: this late 2014 iMac's officially supported macOS versions are macOS Yosemite (10.10) through macOS Big Sur (11.x) but no later. I tried speaking to an apple store employee, he was friendly, but unhelpful, kept trying to sell me a magic mouse, also said may machine was probably running 12.7 os? But I have arthritis and been using trackpad's for 11 years. I have seen threads stating a Magic Trackpad 2 will work with my iMac, but do apple still sell these?

I would not expect it to swap— No.
